Red arrow - sideframe reinforcement Blue arrow - flash deflector, a hold over from the percussion era and in the event of blowback the attribute is to deflect particles. Others may have the proper name. Cheers, Raimey rse

Raimey, the blue arrow is what I always thought was called the "fence".

I agree on the need for bushed firing pins. This might turn out in the long run to be an improvement.
Similarly, an entirely new set of springs and such might turn out positively. They'd be fresh and probably a bit less likely to break. Alternatively, since this gun does appear to have been made to a pretty-standard design, it may be that there are old parts guns lying around which could be cannibalized for their action innards. This is a question for a good gunsmith who handles these more or less regularly. If he can pop old parts into this gun and have it work, that would save days of time wielding a file and a lot of money.
I also agree on sleeving the rifle barrel. It would be a good idea, when considering this, to keep in mind that this gun was designed for low-pressure cartridges and to sleeve and chamber it for something mild. I'm thinking .30-30 Winchester, .30-40 Krag, .32-40, .38-55, .25-35 Win. or something along those lines. I don't know whether there's enough meat in the barrels to, say, open it out to something along the lines of .45-70, but that could be fun if it could be done. Any of the ones I listed would suffice for just about any European game. In any event, because of availability and cost I would want to have it in a readily-obtainable cartridge. The 9.3x72R gets pretty expensive when compared to the others.
My big question remains just how thoroughly the police messed up the shotgun barrels.

Sharps: I guess it is possible to view the deflector as an extension of the fence but I've always thought of the fence as the hemispherical/conical portion of the frame that is typically adorned. The hemispherical/conical part was a holdover from the percussion era to deflect hot gases, etc. from the eyes. This may be an attribute found mainly on Germanic hammerguns?
Cheers,
Raimey rse

On this Belgian hammergun given as 0.410" a top view looks very similar to the deflector around the nipple on a percussion. So I guess an extension of the fences & also a deflector? Cheers Raimey rse

Czechmate, It that a crack starting above the red arrow, at the junction of the "standing breech" and "water table" ? I didn't notice it in the smaller photos. If it is a crack, it will rule out returning the drilling to shooting condition. If it is cracked or welded, it will not pass proof. The welding at the firing pins would be removed in installation of "bushings", but it would be obvious at this location. Mike

Ford, might just be the adornment of the fence? Cheers, Raimey rse
